Chapter 28, the Dragon Boat Festival
Three days later, there were rumors in the court and the opposition that many of the courtiers' homes had been stolen, and they did not know where the thieves were sacred, and that they had settled all the courtyards, and even knew the secret vaults of each household, and many officials got up in the morning, but saw that the treasures in their homes were lost, that is, there were not even a few clothes left, and outside the Shanhai City, the people who had just settled down were cheering, because they had received unexpected and precious gifts - the clothes of the courtiers and their families (Chapter 28 of the Legend of the World).

So some people say that as long as they have been corrupt and incorruptible before, they have all been stolen, and even the Ji family will not be spared, and even forced Nie Qianwu's man Ji Fengping to even hand over his private money, and he almost ended up sleeping on the street, and finally he could only roll up the covers and move into the Great Guangming Palace to live with Nie Qianwu.
Of course, all honest officials were preserved, and even quite rewarded, including officials who were vigorously promoted by the Rakshasas in those years (Chapter 28 of the Legend of the Present World). Because of this, the officials sued Nie Qian that there was nowhere to go, in order to give everyone a reasonable explanation, on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, Nie Qian had no banquet for all the officials of the court, which seemed to be a boundless banquet on a snowy night, but it was a Hongmen banquet behind the scenes.
On the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, all the officials wore plain clothes to the scene, because the good clothes at home were all stolen, during the banquet, all the officials were arranged to sit in a fixed seat, and the most embarrassing thing was that every court official's dishes and saucers were actually from their own homes.
"Uh, isn't this your glow-in-the-dark cup?"
"Isn't this the glass cup I sent?"
For a while, everyone was talking, and in this embarrassing and ridiculous atmosphere, Nie Qian did not appear.
"Everyone knows that many of you have been stolen in three days?" Nie Qian said straight to the point.
"No, no, this dynasty has changed, the treasury of the sky is empty, and those things are all handed over by us."
"That's what we're supposed to do."
"It should be, it should be."
Nie Qianwu looked around, the embarrassment of these officials was really ridiculous, "In this case, Nie Mou is here to thank you for your kindness, this property will become part of the treasury in the future, of course, I will not spend it indiscriminately, everyone knows that my meal is four dishes and one soup, and the money saved will naturally help the victims, if there is one of you who eats better than me, don't blame me for taking my brothers and people to his house to eat." ”
"No, no, I've always been a vegetarian."
"I've been losing weight!"
For a while, the officials were frightened, and some of them had a sense of retreat.
"I also know that everyone may not be used to being so frugal, it doesn't matter, I will accept the resignation, and I am not to blame for everything before. Of course, I, who are willing to work with me, welcome me, and I will also give you some gifts. ”
As she spoke, Nie Qian pointed to the utensils on everyone's table and said, "These things on the table, I will return them to the original owner, and your income will be doubled in the future, but you also know that my eyeliner is widely spread, and if there is a windfall, don't blame me for not asking for it." ”
There were originally a lot of officials in the sky, but now they are doubled, and the houses are arranged according to the rank, even if they are not greedy, their lives can be very good, and many officials can only consider themselves unlucky. This time, almost all the officials present were frightened, but a considerable number of honest officials followed Nie Qianwu even more desperately after this incident. And Ji Fengping on this side gave a thumbs up to Nie Qianwu beside him, and even gestured to kiss Nie Qianwu, his excited affection was beyond words, and he almost threw himself at this woman.
And for this Hongmen banquet, the dismount just now is just an opening statement. At this time, looking at the courtiers who were sitting on pins and needles, Nie Qianwu looked around and said, "Of course, everyone knows that today's night banquet was invited by His Majesty Shura, naturally, I just said a lot of things, and it was just throwing bricks and attracting jade. ”
"Your Majesty, is Your Majesty really coming?"
"Didn't you say what were you going to do when you were dying?"
"Let's be honest, Your Majesty is here, he doesn't have Nie Qian to talk to!"
For a while, the courtiers whispered and discussed, which made the already very solemn atmosphere even more serious.
In the apse, a four-person sedan chair lifted Shura to the main seat in the hall. At this time, most of the courtiers have not seen Shura for many years, I remember that he was still gray hair at that time, and I haven't seen him for a few years, Shura is so old that it seems to be a different person, white and almost transparent hair, plus the support of the two, Shura's aging makes people can't bear to look at it directly, he is a person who wants to save face, if it is not an important matter, he will never appear at such an old age, which makes many people smell the smell of Shura's death, maybe this is the last time they will meet. However, even if he is old, in front of everyone, the majesty of Shura is still there, which makes what was originally just an ordinary banquet look like a court.
I still remember 2000 years ago, the courtiers knelt three times and knocked nine times to themselves for the first time, and I still remember that I have looked at the vast emperor on the throne since I was a child. Many years later, the dream came true, and he also listened to the long live thousands of years ago, and even for a moment Shura was bored, but since Nie Qianwu's appearance, such a big scene Shura has never seen it again, perhaps, for himself, this is the last time, but this time, almost all the courtiers invariably chose to perform the big bow of three kneels and nine bows, and at this moment, the hard-hearted Shura was unexpectedly moved, he looked at the courtiers who once belonged to him almost with tears in his eyes, and the words were indeed unexpectedly short: "I will die soon, and today, I will entrust the jade seal of the country to the face of Zhong Aiqing, who do you think is suitable?"
"The jade seal of the country?" Everyone looked over, most of them chose Nie Qianwu, and there were also a few stubborn old ministers who thought that women were not allowed to be emperors, thus pointing to Ji Fengping.
"Fengping, what do you think of yourself?" Shura looked at everyone, turned to Ji Fengping beside him and asked, his sharp eyes seemed to be waiting for Ji Fengping's affirmative answer.
Ji Fengping looked at Nie Qianwu beside him with deep meaning, suddenly stood up, and said: "The minister is willing to do his best, assist Qianwu, and rule the world together!" Shura nodded with satisfaction, this seemed to be the answer he wanted, but he saw that a few old ministers objected: "Your Majesty, no, in the firmament, women have not been kings since ancient times, if it is Si Chen, it will definitely be cholera in the world!" ”
"Then who do you think is the most suitable?" Shura looked around fiercely, but saw that the old ministers who had just jumped up against it all lowered their heads. "As early as a year ago, the Junzi Kingdom has been a vassal to Qianwu, I am ashamed of myself, if anyone thinks that he can defeat Qianwu and defeat me, then stand up."
So no one dares to say more than half a word.
"In other words, do you think it's okay?" Shura asked tentatively, everyone knew that Shura disregarded his body this time and forcibly returned to see the old minister, in fact, he was just helping Qian Wu to get on the horse and take a ride, but I thought that Shura looked down on women the most, and nearly half of the female courtiers in the original Sky Dynasty were very few because of Shura's coming to power, and Nie Qian was all the one who forced Shura to step down back then? Isn't it true that these two people should hate each other?
"Your Majesty," someone couldn't hold back and stood up and asked, "Didn't Your Majesty also think that women should not hold important positions back then?" ”
Shura sighed, said earnestly, and said: "I used to think the same way, but over the years, how many people have died under the throne of the throne, each of them is an immortal talent, but the heavens did not recognize them, and even the one who pulled me down is this little woman, if Qian Wuru wants to be the emperor, it is not enough to rely on me, whether it is the destiny of heaven depends on her creation." ”
Most of these pedantic ministers were loyal to Shura, and when they saw that Shura's words had come to this, they didn't say anything more. Seeing that all the courtiers had agreed, Shura immediately took out the jade seal of the heirloom country, beckoned Nie Qianwu, and said, "Come, Qianwu, this will be entrusted to you, and the dream that I can't realize will be completed by you." ”
This is a heavy sustenance, and it is an unwilling entrustment, but no matter what, the era of Shura is finally over at the moment when the jade seals intersect, and then the deceased has gone, and all the merits and demerits can only be commented on by future generations.
However, Shura appeared at this time, naturally it was not just as simple as passing a jade seal, seeing that it had come to an end at this time, Shura nodded to Taishi Ling, only to see him stand up, Shura said: "At this moment, all Aiqing are here, I know that my fate is not long, and what is behind me will be here to make a verification, first, as the emperor of the firmament, I am willing to bury the imperial mausoleum with the imperial ceremony, second, in my lifetime, the fourteen squares have taken care of the meritorious, I can't bear them, and I specially give the fourteen squares and three thousand palace people to accompany the burial and enter the imperial tomb to show grace." ”
"Command!" Tai Shiling said.
"Fourteen squares? Let 3,000 people accompany you to the funeral? Shura's words made Nie Qianwu angry, but hundreds of courtiers were staring, which made Nie Qianwu dare not make a mistake, so she could only bow her head and whisper, "Hey, old man, if you want to die yourself, forget it, and ask thousands of people to accompany you to die, are you crazy?" Hurry up and put the words on me. ”
"Back then, the vast emperor was buried with tens of thousands of people, and I, as his son, should be able to fulfill my filial piety, but you are not my daughter, and I also know your temper, so I am merciful at the moment." Shura glanced at Nie Qianwu, he had already guessed that this woman would never agree, if he just told her in private in front of a few people, then Nie Qianwu would definitely not admit it, so Shura would have to feast the ministers even if he held it to the death, in order to make Nie Qianwu unable to regret it at all in front of everyone.
"You-" Nie Qian rolled up her sleeves, and was about to get angry, but was pulled by Ji Fengping beside her, "Qian Wu, what do you want to do?" ”
"Kill this inhuman!" Nie Qianwu said in a low voice.
"No, the deceased is the greatest, as the next emperor, the old emperor's will must be executed, and the fourteen squares were originally his palace people, even if they were asked to accompany the funeral, it is reasonable, this is a matter of Shura, you can't interfere." Ji Fengping beside him hurriedly reminded.
"Fuck, it's reasonable to let thousands of people accompany him to die, what's the difference between this day and night emperor." Nie Qian said unwillingly.
"You have to endure this, you are a woman, the regime is already unstable, if you anger the courtiers because of this, you will definitely lose more than you gain!" Ji Fengping said warnly.
"So I have to sacrifice thousands of people for my throne, so I don't want to fucking Nie Qian for this kind of throne!" Nie Qianwu was about to say this, but saw Li Qi, who was hiding beside her, appear and stand up at this time.
"What do you want to do!" However, at this time, a hand held Li Qi tightly.
Li Qi turned his head and saw that behind him was still the reluctant Kong Fang, this was his home, and in front of him was his father, but this was a matter of life and death for three thousand people, he was still hiding in his dark corner, watching coldly, and even seeing death and not saving him, thinking of this, Li Qi glanced at Kong Fang resentfully, and said angrily, "Do you still want to stop me, don't you want to save the three thousand palace people?" Don't you tell me they're damned too?! ”
Li Qi's eyes were almost mocking, Kong Fang couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, he actually let go of the hand holding Li Qi, he understood that if he still stopped it at this moment, in case the three thousand palace people died, Li Qi would not be at ease in this life.
